What's the metric basis behind the assumption of yours?

Gas prices are up?  Egg prices are up?

Have you looked around?  People are spending money like it's going out of style.  I'm in Sedona now, was in Sarasota earlier and it's nothing but wall to wall people.  You may want to aware folks who are spending like drunken sailors just how bad you think it is.

People are using credit. What happens when they can't pay for their credit cards, you have millions of people in debt, collections, etc. How do you think most banks make their money? 

Through interest on cards and loans.

How has this changed in the last oh...30 years?

That's right, it hasn't.  People haven't had excess money to pay an unexpected $500 bill in forever.

But at least everyone has jobs and real wages are positive since 2021.

Booming economy.

Hmm...I guess it depends on your source: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/banking/living-paycheck-to-paycheck-statistics-2024/#:~:text=or lost income.-,How Many Americans Are Living Paycheck to Paycheck%3F,paying for their monthly expenses.

How Many Americans Are Living Paycheck to Paycheck?

A 2023 survey conducted by Payroll.org highlighted that 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, a 6% increase from the previous year. In other words, more than three-quarters of Americans struggle to save or invest after paying for their monthly expenses.

Similarly, a 2023 Forbes Advisor survey revealed that nearly 70% of respondents either identified as living paycheck to paycheck (40%) or—even more concerning—reported that their income doesn’t even cover their standard expenses (29%).

If it seems like your paycheck disappears as quickly as it hits your bank account, you’re not alone. More than 60% of Americanslive paycheck to paycheck as of September 2023, according to a LendingClub report. Even people in higher income brackets are affected. More than half of Americans earning over $100,000 a year live paycheck to paycheck.

Meanwhile Trump cut corp tax, cut taxes for the rich, got rid of regulations, all of which put a system in place where the rich and powerful corporations are making record profits and taking advantage of the little guy.  All of which they support.  But they cry because the poorest and most disadvantaged get handouts.

They're so dumb, they enabled the wealthy corp elitists to fock them, and then are told by these same people "Hey don't be mad at me, look at the poor dude getting a handout, that's not fair is it" and they are so dumb and gullible they buy it.
